It only took me 10 months

to go from this
to this
this is the first time i have sat on the bike since Oct 08.
i'm a bit happy. so happy in fact that i forgot to throw horns until the last second and didn't quite get my hand into position
however, it won't be ridden for at least a week.
I still have a couple of minor things to wrap up before it's ready to be fired up.
I can't seem to find the gasket i ordered, and i no longer have the shim for the air gap so i can't use silicon.
now as long as i get it up and running before Oct i win. I was told by my friends that it would stay unfinished for at least a year.

one other thing i need to add...
getting the nuts on the vertical exhaust header make the beast with two backsING SUCKS. when designing the engin could they at least have them come out straight so you can get to them easier if they are only going to leave you 1" of space to turn the dam things?

i would say that it depends on the stickers that are being suggested
(is that a hint as to what i will find in my mailbox soon?)

do you have the correct tool? it's the crazy-ass looking C thing that has a nut driver on one end and a socket on the other. using that, you understand why they don't care there is an inch of clearance.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

i forgot about that part.
ducati needs to sell the tools to work on the engine.
i'm not spending $80 for the tool. i'll just bang my knuckles, get frustrated and take a lot longer to do it thank you very much.
ohh, i don't suppose anyone has a left side control for an IE monster laying around. mine has a broken idle lever.

i've slowly built up a list of ducati tools over the years. you just get tired of the band-aids.
